With its 235 mm aperture and 2350 mm focal length (f\/10), this is a powerful telescope for both visual observation and serious astrophotography. The optics deliver razor-sharp, high-contrast images of planets, the Moon and deep-sky objects, while the CGEM II mount ensures flawless tracking and maximum stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are renowned for their compact construction and excellent image quality. Thanks to the <strong>StarBright XLT coating<\/strong> makes the most of the 235 mm aperture: high light transmission and a clear, contrast-rich image, even at low object heights or light pollution. The long focal length makes this telescope ideally suited for planetary photography, but with an optional <strong>f\/6.3 reducer\/corrector<\/strong> shorten it to f\/6.3 for deep-sky astrophotography with shorter exposures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>CGEM II mount<\/strong> is designed for heavy-duty optics and advanced photographic applications. With a <strong>load capacity up to 18 kg<\/strong> it provides firm support even with cameras, guidescopes and accessories. The <strong>Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC).<\/strong>-function corrects mechanical deviations in the drive, ensuring accurate tracking at long exposure times. Its wide mounting base and thick steel legs (51 mm) keep it stable even in windy conditions or high magnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mount can detect objects <strong>far beyond the meridian<\/strong> tracking without realignment, making long observations possible. The <strong>NexStar+ hand controller<\/strong> with 40,000 objects makes automatic alignment and navigation easy. Features such as <em>All-Star Polar Alignment<\/em> and compatibility with <em>Celestron CPWI<\/em> and <em>SkyPortal WiFi<\/em> give you maximum control and flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Celestron SC 235\/2350 CGEM II 925 GoTo<\/strong> is a true all-rounder: powerful enough for deep-sky detail, sharp enough for planets, and stable enough for serious astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you can see with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fine cloud bands and lunar shadows on <strong>Jupiter<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Cassini separation and moons of <strong>Saturn<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polar ice sheets and surface contrast on <strong>Mars<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structures in the <strong>Orion Nebula<\/strong>, the <strong>Trifid Nebula<\/strong> and globular clusters such as <strong>M13<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distant galaxies such as <strong>M81<\/strong>, <strong>M82<\/strong>, <strong>Sombrero (M104)<\/strong> and <strong>Andromeda (M31)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application<\/strong><br>This telescope is ideal for advanced observers and semi-professional astrophotographers looking for a robust, accurate and powerful setup.
